I do mean `@testitem`, as is used for `TestItemRunner` or `ReTestItems`; but more specifically in this post, the error happens in the VS Code testing pane, whose details I don’t understand very well (see this thread: [How does the Testing pane work?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/how-does-the-testing-pane-work/115301)).
